Glad you got time to be with your family. Dmg04 has done exactly what you all have done since the beginning, offer nothing worth reading. Keep your platitudes. Keep your "we're listening" and pandering. DO SOMETHING ALREADY. You are worthless as devs at this time. You KNEW stealing would come to light. You KNEW that the majority of your community would have a come apart. You KNEW that there were serious problems prior to launch. You KNEW that the DLC was less than mediocre. You KNEW that there was NO endgame. With all this, you still released a product that was AWFUL, with no good excuse. ET for the dang Atari was better than this. SHAME on you. And you still intend on claiming that it's ok. On a personal note, with no disrespect and ALL my concern as a father myself, I darn sure hope you do better with your REAL child than you do here, with your electronic one, because the neglect we all feel is palpable. It is beyond frustrating. EDIT: I stand behind what I said. And as for ya'll who are pissy with it, look here kids: I put ALL my effort into ALL I do, and I refuse to half ass ANYTHING. You are totally okay with folks saying I suck dick and all, but want to tell me that I'M BEING DISRESPECTFUL? Take your double standards and shove them. ONE STANDARD. As for "its just a game" understand this: THIS is his JOB. This is his LIVING that he makes. You would be beyond pissed if your mechanic brought you your car back and only fixed half of it, or you bought a house from a realtor only to find it's missing a wall/roof, etc etc et al. If you are going to do something, DO IT RIGHT. As for Coffee, well buddy, here's my retort to you: STEALING: THEY DID STEAL. Or did you just conveniently forget the XPgate scam? PLUS all the stuff in D1 that is missing that has NO REASON to be missing, ala modes of play and things like Heroic Modifiers. Community: It ain't speculative, you can clearly see the dropoff AND see how many folks got polarized. Problems at Launch: So, you think that it's ok to ship a product that is missing content that the previous iteration had, and no raid, piss poor loot, not having a multi-scrap for shaders, etc etc? It's like they didn't bother to do ANY alpha testing and the beta didn't last long enough to give them any real data. DLC: Ugh. Endgame: Value is NOT subjectable when there is none. This isn't like a cow turd that can be used to form a worm farm or even fertilize a garden. This "endgame" is toxic waste which has made much of the community angry as hell. Awful Product: Looks, Sound, and Mechanics ARE there yes. You know what isn't? You know what is pissing off most of us veteran Destiny Players? All the content that was "lost" or "left behind", and a story that LOOKS nice but is utterly without depth. This game's story is over in less than three hours of gameplay. WHY?!?! The Red War should have been a YEAR LONG event at LEAST! That would have made us feel something! Some kind of connection! They could have made us actually think, and attack places in the city, and fight without the light for WAY longer. We could have done something like find Shards of Light, to regain our powers temporarily, OR use them to restore the Traveler or our Ghost! We didn't get to change our characters, and still cannot, and yet a game GENERATIONS old allows it? (PSO) Our Ghosts are all the same crappy voice? How many folks would FREELY record lines and send them in to be used??? And, to top it off, we're cut off from the Russian area, the Moon, Saturn, Mars, the Dreadnought, and the Reef AGAIN? WHY?!??! I say they claim it's ok because if you aren't actively DOING, you are IGNORING. They SAY that they are listening and tell folks what they think we want to hear, but there is NO ACTION. Words without action are WORTHLESS. As for your jab, along with the rest, guess what? I watch what folks DO. I watch what ACTIONS they take. I didn't "insinuate" that he's a bad father. If I felt like that, I'd say so. I SAID I hope he does better as a father than he is as an employee and a "father" to the game that he supposedly loves. I said that because so far, his actions are EMPTY as are his words. Instead of taking a kneejerk "I'm so offended" reaction, mayhaps think YOURSELF. Actions. NOT WORDS. DEEDS. I am sick of folks being ok with mediocrity. I am sick of you having double standards. You are ok with folks using disgusting language ALL OVER the forums at folks, and NO ONE bothered to say DICK in support of a post I wrote YEARS ago about folks needing to stop telling kids to kill themselves, but THIS one you get angry at???? I am so tired of your abject cowardice, and your ability to be so big and bad online but what then? HUH? You also didn't address the most salient point I was making: WE FEEL NEGLECTED AS HELL. We are the consumer who pays the bills at Bungie. I don't know what forums or game YOU'VE all been on lately, but here? Maybe 10% of the posts are "hey, all is well" posts. The rest are a good cross-section of angry gamers who feel cheated by people that they trusted with their TIME and MONEY. Again, you wouldn't be this blase if someone only gave you half a pizza when you paid for an entire large plus coke, now would you? NO. You'd flip out on the delivery boy and call angrily and demand a refund. As I said, Coz. I mean NO disrespect. I said CLEARLY I was glad you had time with your family. I also said clearly that what you and the team are doing here, and on D2, is garbage. If folks think that my example was too extreme, or "trite", or "offensive", well, guess what children? You can be offended all day long. Grow up. You have the right to speak in MY country (at least for now) NOT to be UNoffended. In fact, the Rights that we currently enjoy pretty much GUARANTEE you will be offended. GET off your high horse. Drop the Double Standards. DO. Mauz

What do you even do for a living?

Hello and welcome back. Is it at all possible to look into forum moderators? This place is in serious need of house cleaning. Actual fans/players have a hard time utilizing the game's own fourms due to trolls and children whose parents can't be bothered to raise them. Thanks and congratulations on the new addition! :)

I seriously don't know why you guys even bother trying to communicate with the bottom feeders on this forum.

Welcome back, Cozmo. Glad you got some time with your daughter. It’s a significant time to be the dad of a daughter (and of sons). It’s our job to help create the powerful, and empowered, women who might just be humanity’s saving grace. After all, it’s men’s leadership got us [i]here[/i].

Cozmo, why would you put "If you want to continue posting #RemoveEververse threads, that's fine"? This sentence alone is a passive aggressive statement filled with self entitlement. We dont need you to do anything for this community as you do NOTHING for us. You are just as bad as Deej. If the "chain at Bungie" has not heard the crap-storm by now what makes you honestly think that they will listen to you??? As a Veteran consumer of Bungie Games from before Halo Evolved I am NEVER buying another game from Bungie again. I dont need you to tell the chain at Bungie that, as I am sure they will feel it in the future; as I am not the only one. I hope your check feels it to. Only then, when your bottom line is impacted will Bungie, Leadership, Devs and all the rest of the staff involved in this crap might actually listen.

"We'll have news soon about future updates" is all you ever say and do. So I've got a little update for ya: 🖕

Parenting is serious business, you should get a real job in a company with a future.

I guess it's good to know your back, let me catch you up, 80% of players left Destiny 2 lol

So now that you're back and I have no idea who you are, are you back to help fix the game or just spew nonsense? If "you're back" I assume you're "someone" with that Bungie logo next to your name. Wtf is going on my friend? Destiny 2 could be much better than it is. The feedback is there. It's the same feedback day after day, week after week and month after month and no changes. Nobody is listening.

I love that this has been down voted so many times, it’s not currently in the top ten. Lol. This more than anything should be the message you bring back to anyone at your company that doesn’t realize that, if something drastic isn’t done soon, the player base is going to collapse Division style. Edit... January 8th, PVE was Down to 843k players. This is the lowest I’ve ever seen it. https://destinytracker.com

First of all, Kudos on your baby girl. My first born was a girl and I remember crying like a wuss when she opened her eyes for the first time and saw me. That'll never leave ya lol. I've enjoyed this wonderful world since Dark Below, and while it is tempting to jump on the bandwagon for all the other horses that have been beaten dead, I just want to bring up one specific thing that's been frustrating to me that I haven't seen brought up and that's the 'Shader economy'. I have been waiting for what seems like months now (at least 2) for Tess to have the Metro shift Shader. It's become increasingly frustrating grinding for bright engrams, or waiting for the weekly reset just for a Shader, when it's taken less time for me to collect whole armor sets. It would be fantastic, if once we've discovered or received a Shader, that we could go to a kiosk or something and just purchase it. (I would spend up to 500 glimmer for shaders) also the cost of glimmer it takes to apply a Shader to a ship or sparrow is pretty frustrating as well. I'm not a YouTuber living on this game, so I don't have stock piles of all our consumables, and the glimmer it takes to use certain ones. It's still a grind for me just to get the 25000 glimmer😂😂. (working 10-hour shifts, family, etc) I've always been a "style before stats" player, so if you guys would look into this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Welcome back! I agree that Dmg04 did a great job while you were gone and I think he could play a big role in repairing this community if he was given the opportunity. The Bungie.net community used to be something special, but ever since halo.bungie.net was shut down the sense of community on this site has all but vanished. We need someone in charge who would care enough to try to get us back to where we once were. Remember how awesome Bungie and the Bungie community were during the Halo days? Don't you want that back?

Who let @Cozmo reproduce?? Smh Oh wait, dad??

Hello, happy to see you're back! Excited to see what the future holds.

Youre back? K, we're listening, but i didnt bother to read what you posted.

Who cares if you are back we want you working on destiny 2 to make it better I don’t care that you had a baby girl
